| Dear All,I would like to share a real life story with all my friends and especiallyAll my colleagues and all Maybank account holders.This incident happened on today evening (1 April 2008). I went to the PJState (Also known as PJ New Town) Maybank to withdraw RM500. Unfortunatelyfor me, only 9 RM50 notes came out instead of 10.What happened was, one of the RM50 notes was folded exactly in half andplaced at a corner of the stack (Please refer to the attached picturesshowing how two RM50 notes can be counted as three).I was so upset because I have no proof that the ATM did not give me thecorrect amount. After much hesitation, I finally decided to call Maybank tocomplain about the incident knowing that I may not get back my money. But atleast I can caution them of such incident. When I told of my situation tothe Maybank Customer Service Representative, to my surprise, I was informedthat I'm not the first victim. It seems that similar cases have occurredbefore. The lady explained that it is the malfunction of the ATM and themoney may accidentally get folded in half. However when questioned, she wasunable to explain to me why the money can be folded exactly in half andplaced nicely in the corner of the stack.I believe this is the new technique of cheating money, done by the peoplewho are responsible of placing the money into the ATMs. In the stack ofmoney which is to be placed into the ATM, one RM50 note is folded nicely inhalf, for every one note taken out of the stack of money. The folded RM50notes are then placed at the edge of the stack and positioned in the ATMwhere the money would be counted. With that done, every one folded notewould be counted by the machine as two notes.I may be wrong about how and why it happened, but I would like to warneveryone about this incident. Please be careful when withdrawing money fromthe ATM (it may happen to other banks as well) and do count your money to besure. If such an incident really happened to you (*touch wood*), please docall up the bank to complain about this. If everyone keeps quiet about this,the bank may be unaware of such incidents and the people responsible mayjust continue doing what they do without getting caught! Even if it isactually because of the ATM malfunctioning, the bank should know about thisand there is also a chance of you getting your money back.

*Picture 2 - The folded note is counted as two notes by the machine (two notes counted as three).* |

| bagus dorg buat komplen bah di newspaper baru dorg siasat.. pernah jugak jadi macam ni, aku mahu kasi keluar rm800 tuk byr ansuran rumah, last2 tiada yg keluar.. sebab duit baru dalam atm tu.. melekat berabis.. tp dapat jugak duit selepas seminggu buat aduan kat bank tu.. kalau jadi macam ni direct on the spot buat aduan becoz bila dorg replenish dorg bleh tahu customer mana yg mesin atm tu tidak kasi keluar duit yg cukup.. sebab dalam atm tu ada reject bin.. dri situ yg dorg akan cek sistem balik.. uit.. macam pakar.. heheheh |
